History
The Darkenwood tower,as it is sometimes called, has been here since Pre-Notime.At the edge of the Darkenwood. There has only ever been one owner/occupant, Yaztromo.He has hinted that another lives in the tower with him but nobody has ever been seen and only one person has ever been known to spend the night here.Back in 78AN The Grand duke Clarence Modeen came here to ask for Yaztromos fidelity. The story goes that he arrived with a cohort of knights and Mages, 30 men in all.The Duke boasted that "he lives in my borders and HE WILL call me his lord and pay tribute" making a great show that everyone in his realm would bow to his rightful might.
Leaving the city of Helkirk with his host only to return three days later, alone, wearing nothing but a stolen farmers tunic and torn pants, smelling of rot and piss.His luscious dark hair, now had the Grey streak that characterizes his look today.
From that event to the present the Duke has never spoken of what happened or has even left the walls of Helkirk.Nor does he speak of the fates of the men he had with him.His anger when asked has become legendary so it is unquestioned, over a hundred years now.
